[COMMENT: The people who do
things such as outlined below are liars, and ought to be challenged to produce
the evidence for what they say and do. But the real culprits are those
many among us who have allowed their minds to be tampered with, who cannot see
the lie behind such ways of thinking as shown below. We must
challenge ourselves to stand up to this incredible
nonsense. Our founding fathers would pack us all off to the insane asylum.

Version of David Letterman's Top 10

This is what other countries think of us, in this case Canada .

TOP-10 "Only In America ” Observations

10) Only
in America ...could
politicians talk about the greed of the rich at a $35,000.00 a plate campaign
fund-raising event.

9) Only
in America ...could
people claim that the government still discriminates against black Americans
when they have a black President, a black Attorney General, and roughly 18% of
the federal workforce is black while only 12% of the population is black.

8) Only
in America ...could
they have had the two people most responsible for our tax code, Timothy Geithner
(the head of the Treasury Department) and Charles Rangel (who once ran the Ways
and Means Committee), BOTH turn out to be tax cheats who are in favor of higher
taxes.

7) Only
in America ...can
they have terrorists kill people in the name of Allah and have the media
primarily react by fretting that Muslims might be harmed by the backlash.

6) Only
in America ...would
they make people who want to legally become American citizens wait for years in
their home countries and pay tens of thousands of dollars for the privilege,
while they discuss letting anyone who sneaks into the country illegally just
'magically' become American citizens.

5) Only
in America ...could
the people who believe in balancing the budget and sticking by the country's
Constitution be thought of as "extremists."

4) Only
in America ...could
you need to present a driver's license to cash a check or buy alcohol, but not
to vote.

3) Only
in America ...could
people demand the government investigate whether oil companies are gouging the
public because the price of gas went up when the return on equity invested in a
major U.S. oil company ( Marathon Oil) is less than half of a company making
tennis shoes (Nike).

2) Only
in America ...could
the government collect more tax dollars from the people than any nation in
recorded history, still spend a Trillion dollars more than it has per year - for
total spending of $7-Million PER MINUTE, and complain that it doesn't have
nearly enough money.

1) Only
in America ...could
the rich people - who pay 86% of all income taxes - be accused of not paying
their "fair share" by people who don't pay any income taxes at all.
